SUMMARY:Diving Into The Surface: Solo Exhibition by Marta Masternak
DESCRIPTION:Diving Into The Surface\nA solo exhibition by Marta Masternak  \nAugust 23rd – 26th\nGallery Hours: 1pm – 6pm\nOpening Reception: August 23rd\, 7:00pm \n  \nLet us know you’re coming on Facebook \n\n\n\n\n\non the edge where the outside ends and the interior begins\, \nfrom tomorrow to today\, from today to yesterday\, today\, yesterday\, tomorrow\,\nnon stop\,\nthe same movement\,\nthe same bread\,\nthe same taste of coffee\,\nthe same set\,\nof societal punctuation marks on our lives\, everything melting into one surface\,\nform one place to another\,\nform one text to another\,\nfrom one word to another\,\nwe know something\,\nwe don’t know all\,\nwe are a copy of our copies\,\nbuilding on our parents feelings\,\nto create a world on the rules of our grandparents\, breaking what is right\,\nbreaking what was bad\,\nbuilding what is good\,\nbuilding what was false\,\nliving on the surface\,\nmelting with the lines\,\ngathering points form place to non-place\,\nfinding utopia\,\ncreating dystopia\,\nuploading pictures\,\ntyping feelings\,\nnot knowing anything\,\nknowing everything\,\nposting\, copying\, recording\, processing\, deleting\, moving\, postponing\, saving\, forgetting\,\nbecoming a surface\,\nwithout any significant points\,\njust diving\,\nfrom utopia to dystopia\,\ninto blurred boundaries \n\n\n\n\nMarta Masternak was born in Poznan\, Poland and now lives and works in Berlin. She studied Painting\, Sculpture\, and Multimedia at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and Fine Art at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Before she studied Architecture\, which was natural pre-development of her current artistic activities.\nMasternak´s work oscillates mostly between sculpture\, film\, sound\, and drawing and it is presented in site-specific arrangements\, that intend to evoke a mood rather than telling a story. Her installations are built from mixed media and are based on research into shapes\, the fluid transition of material and color from one form to another\, and how this impacts the viewer´s perception. Her compositions strike an odd balance between spontaneous expressions and precise calculations\, often relating to elements of forms and lines\, it creates a visual rhythm and fluid continuity\, which exposes the phantom of time\, the fragility of movement and the present-day human condition. Another important subject in her works is the processing of memory and how this has shifted through engagement with digital media. She is also a member of the experimental jazz/noise/punk band: permanenterror. Marta’s Residency at Flux Factory is supported by the Trust for Mutual Understanding.
